Sparkly Glitter New Years Slime Recipe

It’s almost the New Year, so we invented a Sparkly Glitter New Years Slime Recipe to celebrate in TinkerLab style. This is the newest slime recipe from our Slime Lab. Scroll to the end of this post for all of our stretchy, squishy slime recipes. They’re all kid-tested and amazing to play with.

This slime is extra celebratory with the addition of jumbo gold glitter embedded in clear slime. It’s easy to make and irresistible.

Sparkly Glitter New Years Slime Supplies

Elmer’s Washable Clear School Glue – 1 cup (240 ml). This glue is my favorite for all kids art and craft activities. We make a lot of slime, and having a gallon has been a good investment for us.

Baking Soda – 2 teaspoons (10 ml)

Contact Solution with boric acid as an ingredient – 2 tablespoons (30 ml) (<< this brand works!)

Jumbo Glitter – we found this rad glitter at Michaels

Step 1:

Pour Elmer’s Washable Clear Glue into your mixing bowl. Elmer’s is the only glue I would recommend for this slime, and now they sell it in a gallon container so you can make (almost) endless batches of stretchy slime.

Step 2:

Pour in baking soda and stir until well-blended with the glue. It will look make the glue look foggy.

Step 3:

Pour glitter into the glue mixture. Stir well.

Step 4:

Pour in contact solution. Stir. The slime should come together within a minute. Once it comes together, remove it from the bowl and knead it until it’s no longer sticky. Add more contact solution if it’s too sticky.
